somefuckinghow being a demi girl makes you closer to the devil than acting like a newborn to turn yr husband on..

A part of me will always mourn the life I could have were I not forced into hiding. I will always love my culture, and I will always hold this grudge against it. Why must love bring me shame? Why must my identity bring me scorn? I write this knowing change is unlikely. Knowing I'm much too cowardly to be a part of it. I'm brave enough to stand for so much, and yet never this. My throat is raw. I have to go to school soon. I hope I don't live this miserable all my life. If I marry—which is probable, and I would like to—I hope my future husband understands (and I assume gender, because I cannot acceptably take a wife). I pray I can trust him and tell him and he will understand. I can't wait to move out, even if I live alone. At least then, I won't have to be so discreet. Maybe I'll move westward, where I'm not as disgusting. All I know is I cannot stay in my motherland. I remember one time, when I was a child, my uncle spoke of two of his colleagues who'd come out and gotten together. The company celebrated them. My family evidently found it gross and backwards. They were two women, if I recall. Every time I hope for change, that memory shuts it down. But still, I envy them. They felt safe enough, or at least bold enough, not to hide. They found acceptance, and love, and didn't hide it. I'm such a fucking coward. June will always render me mad with envy.

If you’re just gonna go for trans men who are lesbians, you don’t hate contradictory labels you just hate trans men lol

I feel like Arab Queer people are a rare breed here on Tumblr and I think it’s kinda sad. Or maybe it’s also because I’m not searching in the actual Arabic language but as someone who never connected much with his Arab side and now is desperately trying to make up for it, learning Arab is hard okay :/ im trying though.

reading people's very personal queer experiences on queer the map, and it's making me really hate dating apps AND WHAT THE DATING SCENE HAS BECOME. Everyone, start yearning and really loving the person you're in love with. BE IN LOVE WITH THE PERSON YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH, HOOK UPS ARE OK, YOU DON'T OWE UR PARENTS A GOOD COMING OUT, THE QUEER EXPERIENCE IS BEAUTIFUL, TRANS IS BEAUTIFUL, I could go on..
